To ask for your hill you will die on? LIGHTHEARTED

As per the meme ‘I will die on this hill’ what are your lighthearted hills you’re willing to die on?

Mine:

Phoebe Buffay is the worst friends character. She is not kooky, she’s mean, selfish and always looking for ways to put the other friends down. Everyone is too busy hating Ross to realise Phoebe is a cock. I will die on this hill.

I can’t see the obsession with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. She wasn’t beautiful. Her eyes were too far apart. Such a weird looking face.

But the show would be pretty tame if they all behaved like Edwardian ladies

I don’t know - I’m a big downton fan 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Sex & The City is boring, unfunny, cliched shite featuring a bunch of moaning, immature and narcissistic women.

(Btw I love New York, love shopping, love company of women, love cocktails, love clothes!)

I’d need to be a spider to stand on all of my hills.

Red Dwarf stopped being any good years ago when it got popular and they upped the budget. They should just leave it alone now. It’s painful.

The smell of BBQs in the summer is lovely.

Pimms, Prosecco and gin are all vile and only good for cleaning drains.

Watermelon is horrible. It takes the worst aspects of water and the worst aspects of melon and puts them together.

Also, carrot cake is not real cake. It’s an abomination.

Sprouts are delicious. Especially when they’ve been boiled for ages and are really soft.

Men who think that they can’t attract women because they’re just too nice and women only like ‘bad boys’ are overlooking the fact that being nice isn’t a personality trait. It’s a basic requirement and doesn’t win you any prizes. If you can only describe yourself as ‘nice’ or if someone tells you that you’re too nice, it means that you are incredibly boring and you still wouldn’t attract anyone if you weren’t nice.

Grey rooms are soulless and depressing.

David Walliams’ books are awful. Every single one of them. He clearly thinks he’s the 21st century Roald Dahl. But his books are just shite.

Come to think of it. Dahl’s books are often really mean spirited and unpleasant. The ‘heroes’ are usually just as bad as (if not worse than) the ‘villains’. I’m not sure why they’re still so popular.

Enid Blyton was a terrible writer. The noddy books (in particular) are genuinely unreadable and SO badly plotted. The moral messages are often totally awful too.

Totally agree about BBQs. Or Braai as my husband’s family calls it.

While staying in SA I was ‘treated’ to many a braai, so tedious.

Took fucking HOURS to cook anything. FIL ponced around like cock of the walk. Like mate, you’re cooking a few sausages and some chicken any chance you could hurry the fuck up.

I lost my rag one night, we would usually eat quite early as FIL liked to get drunk and be in bed by 7.

He invited friends of his over at around 5 so I thought we’d eat at the usual time of around 6.

NOPE! I was exclusively breastfeeding and wanted to eat pretty much constantly. It was after 8 and we still hadn’t eaten. My husband politely enquired when he was planning to serve food?

The answer? “When the mood is right”, what the actual fuck??

All of the above may be coloured by my hatred of FIL but honestly, it’s not an event, it’s just food. Cook it and give it to us.

It's more sensible to have kids in your 20s than your 30s. You can handle sleepiness nights better, you have more energy in general and you can work on your career in your 30s and 40s.

If you wait until your career is established your going to fuck it up again as soon as you have kids anyway*

*apart from the small amount of people with dhs who get paid less and want to be sahp.

Signed a woman who had kids in her 30s.

Bridget jones in the book was an idiot but not too much bridget jones in the film was a pathetic mishmash of impossible scenarios and most importantly was NEVER ACTUALLY FAT the entire point of the book was a soon to be middle age single woman struggling with her WEIGHT her identity etc

Yes and the way they treat women like a prize to be won, or like we're monolith and like the same things. Or that we're too stupid to know what is good for us is the opposite of nice.

Really want to debate the people against severus Snape as I feel they are missing the point (in no small part to the rubbish part of the films)

My hill is that the Beatles were over rated and John Lennon was a dick. The music is boring and Paul mc cartney is annoying.

Also oasis were crap, wonderwall sounds like a drunk dude singing on his way back from the pub.

Chicken Kiev should be served with potato croquettes

No no no! You absolutely cannot have two things covered in breadcrumbs in the same meal!

Totally agree- as if being 'nice" is the pinnacle of human achievement that deserves endless praise. No you wanker, being "nice" is the most basic expectation any of us have for a partner. Its expected, not lauded.
If you think being "nice" is a huge accomplishment then thats seriously worrying.

I can’t see the obsession with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

I read a book about her and her sister. They sounded awful. Their entire desire in life seemed to be to marry into money, and they were always competing as to who was more rich. Apparently the Kennedys were a bit of a disappointment to her because they weren't rich and influential enough for her tastes.

They were fascinatingly awful, the pair of them.

90% of Hollywood leading men aren't even that good looking. They just look like ordinary blokes that have hit the steroids hard.

Gregory Peck was the handsomest man ever to grace the screen.

I can’t see the obsession with Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

I also agree with this. She wasnt stunning or amazingly beautiful, she was a normal looking woman who had good stylists.

Also agree that all she seemed to care about was money and the way she looked. Sounds pretty shallow and vacuous to me.

Gavin and Stacy is shit, gin is vile.
